I run the Deore 4 pot brakes on my road bike with the TRP performance resin and semi metallic pads. The TRP resin has a more gradual initial bite which I prefer over the Shimano resin pad. The semi-metallic is also quite powerful and quiet.
I've also been on a streak with contaminating pads in rainy commutes- resulting in two sets of Shimano pads and one set of TRP performance resin pads written off. They all are contaminated beyond saving (all my tricks as a professional mechanic did not work).
I'll likely go with TRP resins when I wear mine out; and cross my fingers they'll come back in stock.
